Anita, the central character of Ventura Pons' film is fighter. When her job is eliminated, she continues to go to the place she once knew and was a part of. As interpreted by the magnificent Rosa Maria Sarda, she has a lot going for her, even if at the beginning, she doesn't see herself as a winner. Her interaction with her neighbor, the worldly Natalia, proves a step in the right direction in gaining her lost confidence and in doing so, discovering she's a winner in her own right. As directed by Ventura Pons, the catalan director, Anita is a winner. The film is entertaining and light after the last films from this director where he has tackled other, more difficult themes. The Anita of Ms Sarda is full of doubts since most of her bad luck comes at a point in her life where she's settled into a very quiet and peaceful life. She is like another female heroine, Cabiria, a real survivor once she gains her strength and finally is able to cope with the situation life has given her. Jose Coronado is very effective as Antoni, the new love interest in Anita's life, as is Ms. Barranco, who plays Natalia. Very enjoyable and pleasant experience.
